A Dangerous Book — Farhan Burdah

A Dangerous Book introduces the indelible Irfan Mirza, a Desi Muslim with a dark past who is the ideal hero for a brand-new series that puts a fresh spin on the thriller genre. 

After being temporarily unreachable for a deep�'deniability protection job for a Saudi prince, Irfan boots up his phone to discover a series of messages from his estranged wife, an academic who appears to have stumbled upon an incredibly dangerous secret that has landed her in police “protection” in Karachi, Pakistan -- not a place you want to be jailed as an American accused of blasphemy.

Irfan leaps into action only to realize that freeing his wife is more complex than a simple jailbreak -- and soon both her life and his daughter's lie in the balance, as well as the fate of a potentially explosive secret.
